The cat, however, who is approximately three years old, had good reason to be so defensive. In her colony of feral cats, she was undoubtedly the underdog. The other cats picked on her and barely even let her eat when good Samaritans dropped off food for the colony.

It's possible that Bubbles was also a bit disoriented because of irregularities in her vision so she would lash out.

Bubbles slowly grew accustomed to her new life at the sanctuary, but at first, she still wouldn't let people get near her.

She managed to befriend a cat named Reggie, but when Reggie was adopted, once again Bubbles was alone.

She was obviously quite depressed, according to Covello, so the kind-hearted volunteer, who saw something very special in the cross-eyed cat, decided that perhaps Bubbles would benefit from a change of scene.
